Danxia Mountain is the namesake of Danxia landforms, where red sandstone has been weathered over ages into strange red cliffs and peak-and-gorge scenery.

Sights such as Elder Peak, the Yangyuan Stone and Xianglong Lake each have their charm; climbing for distant views of layered green ridges makes it ideal for hiking and sightseeing.
